Rich Site Summary (RSS) is not quite state-of-art technology but thanks to its simplicity RSS feeds are still useful nowadays.

Please note: This post isn’t a step-by-step tutorial. The source code with fully working example can be found on GitHub.

As you probably noticed, I familiarize myself with the subject of Firebase Cloud Messaging push notifications recently.
This time I would like to share with you my push notifications server-side application. The app is made with the Spring Boot framework.
The provided example covers most common notifications sending use cases such as: sending push notification to a topic, directly to the users’ device, or sending messages with additional data payload.
This post is not a step-by-step tutorial. I’ll focus on the most important parts. A fully working example is available on GitHub.
If you don’t have a client-side application to receive push notifications yet, you should consider the use of the Ionic app I described earlier. Have fun!
